The event is designed to create a safe environment for families and friends to cycle together while highlighting the need for cycling routes that enable children and young people to travel safely and independently wherever they live.
It is intended to demonstrate that besides being fun, streets that keep children and cyclists safe work for everyone.
It also aims to promote a healthier, lower carbon future in which active travel modes are the norm.
